The Types Of Services To Be Performed In The Bc Coast Region Are Specified Below.(A) Road Deactivation Plans And/Or Road Drainage Plans – Consulting Services Are Commonlyrequired For The Development Of Deactivation And Drainage Plans. Plans Are Developed Based Ondownslope Risk And Future Access Requirements. Consultants May Also Be Asked To Develop A Costestimate Based On The Plans Developed. Plans Are Expected To Be Consistent With Existing Industrystandards Such As Flnrord’S Engineering Manual And The Ministry Of Forest’S Best Managementpractices Handbook: Hillslope Restoration In British Columbia (2001). In Addition To Fill Retrieval Anddrainage Improvements, Such Plans May Require Design Of Cut Slope And Fill Slope Stabilizationmeasures. Such Instances Commonly Involve The Evaluation Of Complex Terrain, Slope Stabilityanalyses, Surface And Subsurface Drainage Design, Geometry Modifications, Buttresses, Retainingwalls, Etc.(B) Road Stabilization Plans, Including Engineered Fill Slope Design And Retaining Structuredesign – Consulting Services Regarding Design Measures For Stabilizing Cut Slopes And Fill Slopesare Commonly Required For Active Forest Roads. Such Instances Commonly Involve The Evaluation Ofcomplex Terrain, Slope Stability Analyses, Surface And Subsurface Drainage Design, Geometrymodifications, Buttresses, Retaining Walls, Surcharge Loads, Etc.(C) Landslide Investigation, Landslide Risk Analysis, Landslide Mitigation Design – Consultingservices Are Commonly Required Regarding The Occurrence Of A Landslide (Including Debris Flows) Orpossible Occurrence Of A Landslide. These Studies Would Involve Characterization Of The Landslide/Possible Landslide, Identifying Factors Contributing To Its Occurrence/ Possible Occurrence, Local Andregional Drainage Conditions, Analysis Of Climatic Conditions, And Risk To Downslope Resources. Forlandslide Risk Analysis, The Consultant Must Have A Demonstrated Sound Understanding Of “Partialrisk” And “Specific Risk” As Described In The Ministry Of Forests, Land Management 56, 2004Landslide Risk Case Studies In Forest Development Planning And Operations. Recommendationsfor Immediate And Long-Term Management, Including Mitigation Design, Monitoring And Control Aretypically Required. An Estimate Of Magnitude, Frequency And Run-Out Are Also Often Required, Suchthat The Application Of Modelling Software Is An Asset.(D) Rock Slope Engineering – Consulting Services In The Field Of Rock Mechanics Are Requested Forrockfall Hazard Assessments, Rock Slope Stabilization/Protection, Rock Scaling Assessments, Slopestabilization Assessment And Design (Ex: Rock Anchors), Blast Designs And Monitoring.(E) Slope Stability Engineering Analysis And Design - Consulting Services Regarding Designmeasures For Stabilizing Natural And Man-Made Slopes Are Required From Time To Time. Suchinstances Commonly Involve The Evaluation Of Complex Terrain, Slope Stability Analyses, Surface Andsubsurface Drainage Design, Geometry Modifications, Buttresses, Retaining Walls, Etc.(F)Emergency Response – Consulting Services Regarding Emergency Response To The Above Services Are Infrequently Required. In Such Instances, The Consultant Is Often Asked When Evacuation Is Required And When Public Occupancy May Resume. Interim And Long-Term Monitoring Measures Are Generally Required.
